Billie Eilish reveals she "didn’t feel sexy for one second" in her blonde hair

Billie Eilish startled fans in 2021 when she decided to dye her hair platinum instead of her usual vivid green color. However, she wasn't quite "Happier Than Ever" with the lighter hair. The 20-year-old Grammy winner, who has also tried out blue, red, and silver strands in the past, said to Highsnobiety, "I didn’t feel sexy for one second of being blond." She added, "When I was blonde, people treated me differently. People completely changed their demeanor [around me]." And while Eilish refrained from going into detail about the various treatment she underwent, she did explain to the outlet why she made the decision to go bottle blond in the first place and swap out her customary baggy clothing for more skin-baring attire. She revealed, "People saw me as this 15-year-old, a kid, who wore this kind of stuff, looked this kind of way, acted this kind of way, said this kind of way. I felt like I couldn’t change. That’s why I went so far to the other side." She added, "I was trying to prove, ‘Hey, f—k you guys, I can do whatever I want.’ Now I can look really masculine if I want, and really feminine if I want, and it’s not gonna be a f—king headline.” Furthermore, the "Your Power" chart-topper was quick to confirm that even though she occasionally switches things up, her signature baggy ensembles aren't going anywhere. She also wore her hair jet black for her Highsnobiety cover shot. She stated, "It’s not that you wear one thing, and that’s your new style — you f—king keep wearing a bunch of s—t."
